J-POUCH

My daughter had an ileostomy, keeping her rectum - after a hideous bout of ulcerative colitis after loosing 55 lbs and 22 blood transfusions she could not put it off any longer. It has been a long haul - few knows she has had it -
She has found the foods she can handle - and most important the timing of when she eats during the day,  For the sore rectum she uses a well known brand neosporin for pain - I forgot if it is creme or lotion but she is specific -
The local Doctor thought she had Crohns - went to a well known  hospital - and as much as she wanted an exploratory, they gave her steroids - fortunately the semi-retired former head of GI took her under his wing - it was the second worse case he had seen   I noticed growing up about the only thing she would like to eat is peanut butter - even onto college - a jug of peanut butter and some bread - and never liked much of anything else.  She no longer eats peanut butter.
